Jenkins is the leading open source automation server supported by a large and growing community of developers, testers, designers and those interested in continuous integration, continuous delivery and other modern software delivery practices.

The Jenkins project along with many supporting sponsors will be hosting its annual Jenkins World 2018 in San Francisco at the Marriott Marquis on September 16-19, 2018.

If you are a trailblazer in the Jenkins and or DevOps space, we want to hear from you! We want to hear about your real-world experiences and approaches to implementing and accelerating development process with Jenkins and DevOps technology.

DevOps - We are looking for DevOps methods, practices and successes such as DevOps at enterprise scale, DevOps security (DevSecOps), measuring and quantifying productivity, CI/CD, process automation, containerization, performance monitoring, configuration management, etc. Sessions in this track do not need to be Jenkins related.
